This is good news on Bell.

Good news on Bell and Hawthorne. Horrible news for Sylvester. A guy fighting for his life for a job, and he gets knocked out by a 5' 11", 182lb WR.

I was at the game, and I'm surprised it was not worse. Sly makes the tackle, gets up, and then Wheaton's body comes flying at his knees out of nowhere while Sly's cleats are planted in the turf. Could have easily been a Spence-like injury.

Seems like Sly's been outplayed by Marshall McFadden in this camp, though. After spending most of last season on the practice squad, McFadden seems to have learned what it takes to be a Steeler and could be our next UDFA find.

Forced patriotism is an oxymoron.

A government leader proclaiming that citizens have to stand proudly for the National Anthem or else they shouldn't be in the country sounds more like a mandated decree from a totalitarian dictator like Kim Jong Un rather than the leader of the Free World.

Our ability to peacefully protest is a fundamental American right, and any attempt by our government to squash this freedom is what is truly dishonoring the liberty that our Star Spangled Banner symbolizes.
